These men had the good sense to "gather them- selves together unta Jesus" and sensing their need, He said: "Corne ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rcst a wbule." God anticipated man's need for perioda off et. He 30 con- stitutcd us that we need sev- cral hours' sleep ta renew aur physical bodies and restare oVir equilibriuni. He bas also con- stituted us so that we must have rest off spirit if we are ta have sound and peacefful ninds. While many people do sleep' well physicaliy they lack the rest of spirit that is absolutely essential for the full enjayment of lîfe. There are many ways in which we may prepare aur- selves for rest; these I shall deal with next Saturday. But let us think upon the invita- tions off Jesus-"Come ye yaur- selves apart and rest awbule." There must be a voluntary acceptance of God's invitation tot rést regulariy an His appoint- cd day, and we must came, like the disciples off old, ta Je- sus, for He aisa said: "Camne tinta me and I will give you rest." Every one off us needs ta go ta His House on His day ta seek His blessing. and ta fi'nd strength ta face the pressuras and disappointments off life .
